David Hanak The Christmas holidays are upon us and the first information is appearing on the web about how individual companies fared with regard to the Christmas sales of their devices. Christmas is usually the peak of the sales season for manufacturers, and they are anxiously anticipating how many smartphones or tablets they will sell during the Christmas holidays. The first comprehensive statistical information was published by an analytical company Flurry, which now belongs to the giant Yahoo. The information provided by them should therefore have some weight and we can therefore take them as a reliable source. And it seems that Apple can celebrate again.

In this analysis, Flurry focused on the activation of new mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) between December 19 and 25. In these six days, Apple clearly won, taking a bite of 44% of the entire pie. In second place is Samsung with 26% and the others are basically just picking up. Third Huawei is in third place with 5%, followed by Xiaomi, Motorola, LG and OPPO with 3% and Vivo with 2%. This year, it turned out basically the same as last year, when Apple scored 44% again, but Samsung scored 5% less.
More interesting data will appear if we analyze the 44% of Apple in detail. Then it turns out that sales of older phones, not the hottest new products that Apple launched this year, had the biggest impact on this number.
Activations are dominated by last year's iPhone 7, followed by the iPhone 6 and then the iPhone X. Conversely, the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus did not do very well. However, this is most likely due to the earlier release and greater attractiveness of older and cheaper models, or, on the contrary, the new iPhone X. The fact that these are global data will certainly also affect the statistics. In most countries, older and cheaper iPhones will be more popular than their contemporary (and more expensive) alternatives.
If we look at the distribution of activated devices by size, we can read several interesting facts from this statistic. Full-sized tablets have slightly worsened compared to previous years, while small tablets have lost quite a bit. On the other hand, so-called phablets performed very well (within the scope of this analysis, these are phones with a display from 5 to 6,9″), whose sales increased at the expense of “normal” phones (from 3,5 to 4,9″). On the other hand, "small phones" with a screen below 3,5" did not appear in the analysis at all.

I REALLY WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW SOMEONE CAN BUY AN IPHONE 7,8, 6 AND 8 IN THE AGE OF THE IPHONE X, NOT TO TALKING. ONLY REAL JOUDA MEN BUY IPHONE 3000 TODAY. I WILL EITHER HAVE AN XKO IN MY POCKET OR I WILL GO AND BUY A NOKIA FOR XNUMX
Because price vs added value? Because the hideous notch display? Because unlocking problems – phone in horizontal position, phone on nightstand…
Only a moron like you can compare people based on the value of a cell phone.

I understand.
6s and 7 can be bought for around 15, which is a price that many people can still sort of accept - in countries with lower incomes like the Czech Republic.
Such a person says that he is buying Apple and wants to try it out and does not see much difference in newer phones because the applications run the same there.
Another fact is what is written about the iPhone X - that Face ID does not work and is terribly slow and unreliable, that its display burns out, that it has little endurance and that it is overpriced.
Here, for example, typically a pen like Pavlíček on Mobilenet.
If a person who isn't that interested in it reads such articles and can't actually try Face ID in a store, then he will say to himself that it is definitely better to save money and buy the older 7 because he doesn't see much progress in the 8 - at first glance, none.
But if a person gets rid of such nonsense and finds out serious facts - in the Czech Republic, for example, Březina, then if he has the money, I believe that X will be happy to buy it.
I switched to X myself from 6sP and I'm very satisfied - Face ID is very nice for me. It doesn't seem like much, but when you use the phone for a long time, the difference compared to the older 6-8 concept is huge.
Březina is paid for advertising, I would definitely not look for information there.
I also switched from the 6s to the X and Face ID is great – I no longer have to deal with a sweaty or dirty thumb to unlock it, and the automatic login to websites just by going to the site is great. Overall, I'm happy with the phone, I don't regret the exchange, and the father who received my 6s is also happy, so there's nothing to worry about...
Exactly.
You see, I gave the 6sPlus to my mom - it's her first iPhone, but she already knows the basics. Plus I bought her an iPad 2017 and she's thrilled with it too - no more windows.
Otherwise, I like such little things about the X, such as the fact that the display doesn't turn off when you're reading, etc.
I supplemented it with BeatsX and it's great - it still needs large headphones for home with a W1 chip and charging via Lightning - which, for example, the Studio 3 doesn't have, and I also dislike their sound and plastic design.
The iPhone X also has a decent lifespan, and satisfaction here, and most importantly, a phone that fits in your pants.
The steel frame is beautiful, I personally hope that the new iPad Pro will be in this style.
:) ha ha and what's the matter - if you enjoy testing the prototype, don't worry, you can also have an iPhone X, I bought an 8, 256Gb this year because it was the best choice.
I personally have a 6Sko bought a year ago. I recognize that there is no point in buying a 7 or 8. Personally, I'll probably go to the 8th, because you need to use the company flat rate to the maximum. I would also go to Xka, but I think they are overpriced. In a year, when the old line ends and there will be only new designs (personally, I think that Apple wanted to survive on the 8 and released the X after seeing what the competition had), then the price of a normal X cannot be higher than the 8 starts today. The drop in price of the first generation X ka will be big. Plus it has OLED and many things are new. I already got burned with the first iPad, which had so little RAM that I think it only got one iOS update. I have my first AW and it was also stupid. Such an ATV started to make sense from the 4th generation :-D and that's why I already bought it.
I started with the iPhone 5. Then the 6, the shape didn't appeal to me because it fit into the shape of the other plates. But when I saw the iPhone X I understood that it is an exceptional piece. Face ID is absolutely brilliant, considering that I work with my hands and have them from paint, dust or scratched fingers, I mostly used the code because the fingerprint was not recognized. There is no problem with that now.
1A for me ??
And you can't think of a better poultry?

Exactly, for people with dirty/wet hands, the X is finally a practical iPhone.
I bought an iPhone 7 about 2 months ago for CZK 14 new... why? because the iphone 999 and X have glass backs that crack and crack and crack :D .. I don't want Face ID just like I don't want their demented gestures either .. I also wanted to save something I switched from the iPhone SE .. and what's most important I work on iOS 8 :P :P lol
